From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Tenure \Ten"ure\, n. [F. tenure, OF. teneure, fr. F. tenir to
      hold. See {Tenable}.]
      1. The act or right of holding, as property, especially real
            estate.
  
                     That the tenure of estates might rest on equity, the
                     Indian title to lands was in all cases to be
                     quieted.                                             --Bancroft.
  
      2. (Eng. Law) The manner of holding lands and tenements of a
            superior.
  
      Note: Tenure is inseparable from the idea of property in
               land, according to the theory of the English law; and
               this idea of tenure pervades, to a considerable extent,
               the law of real property in the United States, where
               the title to land is essentially allodial, and almost
               all lands are held in fee simple, not of a superior,
               but the whole right and title to the property being
               vested in the owner. Tenure, in general, then, is the
               particular manner of holding real estate, as by
               exclusive title or ownership, by fee simple, by fee
               tail, by courtesy, in dower, by copyhold, by lease, at
               will, etc.
  
      3. The consideration, condition, or service which the
            occupier of land gives to his lord or superior for the use
            of his land.
  
      4. Manner of holding, in general; as, in absolute
            governments, men hold their rights by a precarious tenure.
  
                     All that seems thine own, Held by the tenure of his
                     will alone.                                       --Cowper.
  
      {Tenure by fee alms}. (Law) See {Frankalmoigne}.

            (a) [bd]The complement of those cognitions or convictions
                  which we receive from nature, which all men possess in
                  common, and by which they test the truth of knowledge
                  and the morality of actions.[b8]

                  the philosophical significations.
            (c) [bd]Such ordinary complement of intelligence, that,if

                  tact in behavior, acuteness in the observation of

            (a) .
  
      {The inner}, [or] {internal}, {sense}, capacity of the mind
            to be aware of its own states; consciousness; reflection.
            [bd]This source of ideas every man has wholly in himself,
            and though it be not sense, as having nothing to do with
            external objects, yet it is very like it, and might
            properly enough be called internal sense.[b8] --Locke.

      {Sense organ} (Physiol.), a specially irritable mechanism by

            tactile corpuscle, etc.

      Syn: Understanding; reason.
  
      Usage: {Sense}, {Understanding}, {Reason}. Some philosophers
                  have given a technical signification to these terms,
                  which may here be stated. Sense is the mind's acting
                  in the direct cognition either of material objects or
                  of its own mental states. In the first case it is
                  called the outer, in the second the inner, sense.
                  Understanding is the logical faculty, i. e., the power
                  of apprehending under general conceptions, or the
                  power of classifying, arranging, and making
                  deductions. Reason is the power of apprehending those
                  first or fundamental truths or principles which are
                  the conditions of all real and scientific knowledge,
                  and which control the mind in all its processes of
                  investigation and deduction. These distinctions are
                  given, not as established, but simply because they
                  often occur in writers of the present day.

      promised to her that his third son, Shelah, would become her
